Featured Mehendi Designs by Raju
A selection of my best work, from intricate bridal portraits to festive themes. These are the designs I have perfected over 25 years of practice.
This is the kind of work I love, where the mehendi tells a complete story. On one arm, I drew Lord Krishna, and on the other, an elephant, with both palms showing different wedding rituals and family portraits. It’s a full bridal design that carries blessings and memories.
A classic Karwa Chauth design that is always in demand. On one hand, the wife is looking at the moon through a channi, and on the other, she is with her husband. This design captures the heart of the festival.
For Ganesh Chaturthi, I love making portraits of Ganpati Bappa. Here you can see a playful Ganesha on the palm, with his trusted companion, the mouse, on the wrist. It’s a design full of blessings for a new beginning.
Janmashtami is special, and I enjoy drawing portraits of Bal Krishna. Here, I have created a scene of little Krishna with his pot of butter (makhan) on the palm, with a portrait of the couple on the other hand.
This is another style of Karwa Chauth mehendi I do. It creates a romantic scene with trees, birds, and the moon, along with a couple portrait. It’s a more modern take on a traditional story.
Not everyone wants figures in their mehendi. For them, I create full, heavy floral designs like this one. The mix of bold flowers and delicate net patterns (jaali) covers the arms beautifully.
This is a complete bridal mehendi that tells a story up the entire arm. It includes portraits of Shiva and Parvati for blessings, a royal elephant, and the couple themselves. Every part of this design has a meaning.
Your feet deserve the same attention as your hands. This is a bridal foot mehendi with matching peacock designs, which are a symbol of grace and beauty. The patterns are detailed and create a complete look.
About Featured
These portrait designs are where I focus the most pressure and shading. When I draw a deity or a couple’s silhouette, I use a specific mix of essential oils in my henna to keep the lines crisp. It takes patience to get the facial features right, but that extra time is what makes the final stain deep and defined for your big day.
The Art of Storytelling
My approach to mehendi is simple: it needs to tell a story. Whether it is a portrait of Bal Krishna for Janmashtami, a wedding scene for a bride, or a traditional mandala for Karwa Chauth, my goal is to make the henna speak. Over my 25 years in this craft, I have learned that the secret lies in the fine details.
Why Quality Matters
I use only organic, triple-sifted Rajasthani henna for all my work. For the detailed portrait designs featured here, I add essential oils like Nilgiri or clove to the mix. This ensures the paste flows smoothly from my 0.3mm tips, allowing me to achieve the shading needed for realistic facial features or intricate temple patterns.
Designing for You
Whether you are based in Greater Kailash or traveling from elsewhere in Delhi NCR, I treat every design with the same focus. You will see in these photos that I balance heavy bharwa work with negative space where needed, so the design looks clean yet rich. If you are planning for a festival or your wedding, tell me what you want to include—a specific ritual, a date, or a name—and we can build that into the design together.
